Trading Card API Pricing

Name: CardSight AI API
Brand: CardSight AI
Availability: InStock

Pricing scales with your monthly API call volume. Start with a free tier for prototyping, then upgrade as your usage grows — each paid tier includes a larger monthly allotment and unlocks a deeper per-call discount on additional calls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change plans anytime?

Yes! Upgrades take effect immediately — you'll move to the new tier right away, with the higher included calls and deeper pack discount available on your next pack purchase. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle, so you keep the benefits of your current tier until then.

What if I need more than my monthly tranche?

Any paid tier can purchase additional call packs as needed — buy ahead as you approach your monthly limit and your usage keeps running smoothly. Packs apply your tier's discounted rate (20% off on Premium, 35% off on Ultra), stack on top of your monthly tranche, and never expire. Free plans are capped at 750 calls per month — upgrade to a paid tier any time to unlock packs.

Do you need a credit card to sign up?

No! There's no credit card required to try CardSight AI on our Free plan with 750 API calls per month.

Is there a setup fee?

No setup fees ever. Start free, upgrade when you're ready. Cancel anytime with no penalties.

Does every API call count toward usage?

No! Many of our common APIs such as Autocomplete and even our Trading Card Image endpoints do not count towards your monthly usage! Please refer to our API Documentation for more details.

How do tier discounts work?

Every paid subscription includes a monthly tranche of API calls. The Pro tier buys additional calls at the base rate. Premium and Ultra each apply an automatic tier discount on top of that — 20% off for Premium, 35% off for Ultra. The discount is applied automatically at checkout based on your active subscription — no codes, no contracts.
